Recent conceptual writings on evaluation research emphasize the importance of causal fields and complex models in making probabilistic causal inferences. Several new statistical approaches that promise help in drawing generalizable causal inferences from suitably developed naturalistic and quasi-experimental studies are discussed. Structural equation modeling augmented by automated heuristic search procedures, econometric techniques for selection bias adjustment, and theory-driven outcome pattern analysis are considered. Two examples from alcohol control policy evaluations are given. One involved use of selectivity adjustments to evaluate a highly selectivity-conditioned environmentally-based alcohol abuse prevention program. Many naturalistic evaluations are improved by modeling self-selected program exposure as well as program response. A second evaluation, now in progress, assesses impacts of the U.S. national alcohol warning labels policy. Problems facing the investigation are enumerated, highlighting the need for theorizing about mechanisms of influence, developing multiple lines of evidence, and examining patterns of outcomes for fit with theoretical expectations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":84178,"journal":{"name":"Applied behavioral science review","volume":"2 1","pages":"Pages 29-45"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/1068-8595(94)90019-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"137258273","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The specific cities studied were: Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Toledo. It was found that, compared to Toledo, Cleveland had 51% higher risk of infant death, Cincinnati had 45% higher risk, Columbus had 13% higher risk of infant death. Although in each of these cities, black infants had significantly higher risk of death than white infants, controlling for race alone reduced but did not eliminate the infant mortality differentials among the cities. The results of the hazards analyses reveal that maternal education, marital status, maternal age, birth order, prenatal care, gestational age, and birth weight had a profound net impact on the risk of infant death and that, even after controlling for these and other maternal and infant characteristics, significant city differentials persisted in infant mortality. Similar patterns were observed for neonatal and postneonatal mortality, although the city differentials in postneonatal mortality were somewhat larger than those in neonatal mortality. Results of this study suggest that substantial reductions in infant and postneonatal mortality of these cities can be achieved by improving maternal education, reducing the incidence of teenage- and high-parity births, and providing better access to prenatal care. However, in order to understand and explain more fully the persisting geographic differences in infant mortality in Ohio, we need to consider the role of additional factors, particularly behavioral factors (e.g., maternal nutrition and substance abuse) and community-level factors such as poverty, unemployment, and racial segregation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":84178,"journal":{"name":"Applied behavioral science review","volume":"2 1","pages":"Pages 77-94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/1068-8595(94)90022-1","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"22038156","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Factors underlying the creation of the programs are detailed and analyzed. Descriptions of some major science and technology programs each state supports are given. Short evaluations of the programs are provided. In Iowa, powerful public universities constructed programs in biotechnology at Iowa State University, and programs in laser research at the University of Iowa. A “power” or interest group model is useful to interpret Iowa's initiatives in science and technology. In Massachusetts, long-term public acceptance of large government provided support for programs, often independent of public universities, throughout the state. A “rational” model helps interpret that state's development of such programs. In Arkansas, Governor Winthrop Rockefeller's desire to aid his adopted state, and a tradition of progressive gubernatorial leadership since Rockefeller's terms in office, led to avariety of programs, all modestly funded. Both the rational and the power models assist understanding of the Arkansas experience.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":84178,"journal":{"name":"Applied behavioral science review","volume":"2 2","pages":"Pages 115-137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1994-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/1068-8595(94)90009-4","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136554469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
